Thanks for all the replies all.
Since this truck is my work horse, daily driver, hot rod..all compiled in one, i like to be a bit different. plus, i've always been a sucker for a sixer, thanks to my dad's wisdom shining through at an early age, and realizing that low end grunt is your best friend when hauling. That, and he has always wanted to build a hot six, or atleast luke warm, haha, and this would give us a chance to do that.
With the 30.7's, it lugs some off the line, but at 55-60 mph it's turning a nice 2000 rpm's. Which helps with fuel immensely.
There's a machine shop just over yonder, that does alot of racing work for my friends and relatives, i think i can get the block and head decked for about 200 bucks, which would help the compression, and make sure everything is trued up. Thats assuming the engine doesn't need to be bored.
and, since i'm already sitting on a 3x1 intake, headers, and the 292 has an HEI stabbed into it already...it's getting harder and harder to NOT want to build the six cylinder.
I guess i won't know the specifics unti i get one of them torn apart. Which will be the 292 first, because i can build that, while still driving the truck.
Thanks again your take on this guys, it measn alot to me. and feel free to poist some more opinions and/or experiences!
